Ran the Chicago Marathon this weekend. Wow what an experience. I've run a smaller marathon and I have to say- there is nothing like a big city event. I believe I smiled for all 26.2 miles.
Now it's back to reality. Sigh...but not really, I had put so many things on hold for 'after the marathon' that it's nice to have it behind me. Now it's time for craft shows and product making.
Sold three more necklaces and here is the email I got from the customer:
"Great--this is perfect because my next sister's birthday is in a couple of weeks. I'll send you a photo of the four of us in the necklaces. We LOVE em!!"
Feedback like that is always nice to hear!

working for a living
With the economy being what it is, the news reporting bad news and just a general sense of worry, i'm addressing the thought of working for a living.
Now that both kiddos are in school "full time" (and I use that term losely), I have no real reason to not find some kind of part time job.
No real reason except the house, the errands, the food, the, the, the,.....
You get the idea.
So again I have to revisit my jewelry. How do I get it going? My personal challenge is to really give this my all before I say it doesn't work on a large scale.
So here it is I am going to challenge myself to sell 200 flowers between now and christmas.
It's the first working monday of September so it's as good a time as any to start.
I actually have a decent inventory made and some good craft shows coming up. I will give myself permission to count anything sold anyway (craft show, etsy, word of mouth, standing on the side of the road) but I won't count the three that were already ordered but not made.
So today's count is
0
Wish me luck!
